Re:
Mid-cycle Review and Verification of previous Program Review Corrective Action Plan
Dear Mr. Broudo:
Enclosed is the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s (“Department”) Midcycle Report based upon the Mid-cycle review conducted in your private school program in May
2012. This Mid-cycle Review Report contains the Department's findings regarding the
implementation status and effectiveness of corrective steps taken in response to your previous
Program Review Report issued on June 2, 2009. This report also includes a report on the status
of implementation for new state or federal special education requirements enacted since your
program’s last Program Review.
We are pleased to indicate that the Department has found your program’s approved Corrective
Action Plan to be substantially implemented and effective in remedying previously identified
noncompliance issues. Additionally, we have determined that your program is in substantial
compliance with any new state or federal special education requirements enacted since your last
Program Review. You and your entire staff are to be congratulated for your efforts in
implementing all necessary improvements. Your program will now receive an updated status of
“Full Approval.” This approval shall remain in effect for three (3) years and will be contingent
upon continued compliance with all regulations contained within 603 CMR 28.00 “Special
Education Regulations” and 603 CMR 18.00 “Program And Safety Standards For Approved
Public Or Private Day And Residential Special Education School Programs.” The Department
may change this approval status at any point during this three-year period if circumstances arise
that warrant such a change.
The Department will notify you of your program’s next regularly scheduled Program Review
Page 1 of 2
several months before it is to occur. At this time we anticipate the next routine monitoring visit
to occur sometime during the 2014-2015 school year, unless the Department determines that
there is some reason to schedule this visit earlier.
Please be advised that the attached Department Approval Certificates must be
conspicuously posted in a public place within the program as required by 603 CMR 28.09.
Your staff's cooperation throughout these follow-up monitoring activities is appreciated. Should
you require additional clarification of information included in our report, please do not hesitate
to contact the Onsite Team Chairperson at 781-338-3713.
Sincerely,
Helen M. Murgida, Mid-cycle Review Chairperson
